Hello.. had this at a party and finally got the recipe:


1 medium bag of California blend vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots) approx 4-5 cups
3 cans chicken broth (I used low sodium)
1 can rotel tomatoes
8 oz velveeta cheese

Place vegetables in pot add chicken broth and cook until tender about 20 minutes
I use my immersion blender, or anything you have to break up the bigger pieces
Add rotel tomatoes and cheese and cook slowly until cheese melts

I have used the vegetables totally frozen so you don't have to thaw first
Makes about 6 cups. Took this to work and have given the recipe out because
It smells awesome...


Hope you enjoy

    No fair not posting the calories for this one. It sounds good, although I'm not a fan of Velveeta. Too salty. I bet cheddar, if kept on a low temperature, would work.

    I'd tweak it a little with some chicken for additional protein.

    I made something similar with a lot of beans(no vegies) and added some spices to give it a kick was really good.

    You had me up until the Velveta. Processed poison. Ill try to make it with something a little more natural and nutritious. Great start though. Thanks for sharing!!!

    I think bump is where they are saying they like it so they type bump to get it back up in the top of the forums. I could be wrong about that though.

    This soup sounds awesome and low cal!! I am going to have to try it out.
